RILEY. The following catalogue of the exhibit made by the Division of Entomology, Department of Agriculture, for the World’s Columbian Exposition at Chicago, has been prepared with a view of increasing the usefulness of the exhibit from an economic and educational stand- point, and is intended to supplement the exhibit by giving such infor- mation regarding each separate item as the articles themselves do not convey or which it was impossible to give upon the limited space of the labels accompanying each specimen or article exhibited, though these have been made as full as circumstances would permit. In the preparation of the catalogue and of the exhibit itself I have had the aid of Mr, C. L. Marlatt, who has been particularly charged with the work, and whose assistance I take pleasure in acknowledging. The exhibit of the division is intended to illustrate the work that has been done in applied entomology, viz, the investigation of the his- tory of injurious insects and the devising of suitable remedies to pre- vent their injuries; also the work of building up and maintaining a large and valuable national collection of American species, and inci- dentally the representation of exotic insects for purposes of compari- son. The intimate connection of the Department of Insects of the National Museum with the Division of Entomology has justified me, as honorary curator of said Department in the National Museum, in com- bining this last feature with the exhibit of the U. S. Department of A gri- culture, and, to avoid duplication, I have, with Prof. Goode’s approval, confined the Museum exhibit to an exposition of the characteristics of the families of American insects. Certain prominent and interesting exhibits of an entirely novel character in the line of entomological illustration have also been made, the leading features of which are wax models of the host plants. While a number of plants have been thus modeled, I have designed to thus represent more particularly two of the most important and characteristic of the economic plants of North America, viz, cotton and Indian corn; and one, which, as the most conspicuous and wide- spread of the floral forms which add beauty to our autumn scenery, is, 7 8 perhaps, the most characteristic from the esthetic side. I refer to the Golden Rod, which is also of great entomological interest from the vast number of insects which either nourish from it or are attracted to its bloom. Another feature of the exhibit is a rather extensive and very showy collection of insects, chiefly South American, which is presented to give some idea of the nature and extent of the insect fauna of the tropical regions of this hemisphere. Many of these species, collected by Mr. H. H. Smith, are undescribed, and as the names of these exotic forms would be of little service even where they could be given, and as they are exhibited for other reasons, no attempt has been made at classification or determination. This is to form the showy portion of the exhibit, and, with the Solidago display, appeals to the love of the beautiful in contrast with the remainder of the exhibit, which is scien- tific or educational and has been arranged with little regard to artistic effect. The exhibit is made up of the following sections: SEcTION 1.—INSECTS INJURIOUS TO AGRICULTURE. This section of the exhibit comprises some 602 special exhibits, each of which is an object lesson and pictorial epitome of the life history of a single injurious species, including as far as possible the different stages of growth of the insect; the injury it dees, with specimens; its enemies and parasites; the available remedies and preventives, and references to the chief articles where full information may be found. These references are principally to Government and State reports to which the farmer is most likely to have access. These exhibits are grouped together according to the plants or animals affected, and relate solely to orchard, field, and garden crops, the parasites of domestic ani- mals, and household pests. A small representative collection of cases of eee enemies to forest trees has also been added. Supplementing the above are exhibits representing specially janes species of prime importance affecting particular crops, which are ac- companied by wax models of the plants, showing the injury in contrast, for the most part, with models of the perfect plants displayed alongside. Noteworthy in this series are the special exhibits of the Hop Plant-louse (Phorodon humutli), and of the Chinch Bug (Blissus leweopterous), which include greatly enlarged models in papier-maché of the insects in diff- erent stages. The Fluted Scale (Icerya purchast), which has been so prominent ot late years in California, and its principal enemy, the Australian Ladybird. (Vedalia cardinalis), which has so throughly destroyed or controlled the scale, are also represented in this series, together with enlarged models of the Vedalia. A number of anatomical models made by Dr. Auzoux (Paris), representing the Silkworm and Moth, Honeybee, and Cockchafer are also exhibited. 9 SECTION 2.—SYSTEMATIC AND BroLoGic ENTOMOLOGY. This section of the exhibit is illustrative of the national collection, which is under my charge as honorary curator of the Department of Insects. It consists of a series of drawers representing samples of the systematic collection in different orders, and also of sample drawers of the biologic series, systematically arranged, representing the full life- history of the species which have been studied, whether of economic importance or not, and these will be interesting more especially to the student or professional entomologist. These are exhibited not as com- ‘plete series, but as samples taken from the actual collection to illus- trate the methods employed in the arrangement of the regular system- atic and biologic series, and also to give the visiting entomologist an insight into the present status of the national collection. With this section is included the showy exhibit of insects chiefly from South America, referred to in the introductory paragraph; also the special exhibit of the Golden Rod with the insects which affect or frequent it. SECTION 3.—SILK INSECTS. This section includes a biologic exhibit, in some cases with specimens of the raw silk, of the more important native and foreign Lepidop- tera, the larvee of which spin silken cocoons, and which are or may be of value as commercial sources of silk. SECTION 4.—PROFESSIONAL EXHIBIT, What has been thus denominated is an exhibit of the apparatusused by the professional or the amateur entomologist in the collecting of insects and in their mounting, rearing, and preservation. This includes a full display of all the ordinary apparatus used for these purposes, of chief interest among which will be the series of different devices and methods for rearing insects, comprising a large variety of cages or vivaria, and breeding-jars of all sorts. Many of these are fitted with wax plants and insects, showing the exact methods followed in the work of the Division. This section gives a complete illustration of the implements, apparatus, and methods of work of the practical entomologist. SECTION 5.—INSECTICIDES. This section comprises insecticide preparations which have proved of value in the work of the entomologist in the prevention or de- struction of injurious insects. To make the exhibit as complete as possible some of the more valuable of the patented articles have also been included. The first part of the exhibit includes the important in- secticides not covered by patents, some eighty samples being shown, of which a dozen or so are of supreme importance and fulfill all ordinary needs, the others being of only occasional value. The proprietary and 10 patented articles are exhibited without comment, for the reason that all practical requirements in the way of remedies are met by the use of unpatented substances shown in the first portion of the exhibit. SECTION 6.—MACHINERY. In this section are included the more important nozzles for the appli- cation of liquid insecticides and a few of the leading insecticide ma- chines, the latter collection representing some typical forms, special prominence being given to the knapsack sprayers, and no attempt be- ing made to show make a complete exhibit of all insecticide machinery. A feature of the nozzle exhibit is a series of trial nozzles which were made in the elaboration of the principle of the cyclone or eddy-chamber spray nozzle, which, with its modifications, is now in such general use in all parts of the world, and the original type of which has come to be known (against my own inclination) as the Riley nozzle. SECTION 7.—OFFICIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE U.S. ENTOMOLOGIST. This section includes as complete a file as could be secured of the official entomological publications issued by the national government, and comprises both the work of the Division of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture and of the United States Entomological Commission. SECTION 8.—ILLUSTRATIONS, MAPS, AND CHARTS. An exhibit has been prepared of all the entomological illustrations which have been published by me in an official capacity, either as State Entomologist of Missouri or as United States Entomologist, and also as chief of the United States Entomological Commission. These are grouped in two series; one, illustrations of North American insects, mostly from my reports on the insects of Missouri, and from my own drawings; the other, illustrations of North American insects, mostly from drawings made under my supervision by Miss Sullivan, in the Division of Entomology, U. S. Department of Agriculture. The illus- trations of machinery which have been published by the Division and by the Entomological Commission, are also included in this section, but are exhibited separately with the exhibition of insecticide machin- ery. All these illustrations are mounted on large sheets, and have references to the publications in which they are fully described. With this part of the exhibit is also shown a series of maps and charts illus- trating the range of important injurious insects on this continent, and a Tener of large solar prints illustrating the classification of insects, by means of charts representing the different orders and suborders by typical insects in their different stages of development. There are also charts of special injurious species, together with views represent- ing the practical application of insecticides, and interesting views of 11 insect depredation. Most of the charts are photographed from originals used in my lectures more than twenty years since, and do not indicate, so far as classification goes, some of the later views adopted. Still another series gives interior and exterior views of the insectary of the Department, and interiors of the entomological rooms in the Depart- ment, and the National Museum. The whole exhibit is intended to illustrate primarily the nature of the national collection of insects and the methods of work followed in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and I have felt in preparing it that such a collection would be most likely to prove unique and not in any way duplicate what the different States as such may do in the same line.

A hill of ripening corn reproduced in wax is exhibited as a center piece about which to group the insects affecting this crop, 129 distinct corn enemies being represented in the accompanying cases of the eco- nomic exhibit. The corn plantis chosen and thus fully treated as rep- resenting the most typical of the cereal crops of temperate North America. Theinsect enemies represented in the surrounding cases are treated separately, but arranged according to the nature of the injury they do to the corn plant, namely, as affecting the root, stalk, leaves, or ears. Each insect is shown, as far as possible, in its different stages, together with the injury occasioned by it. Remedies are given and references made to the chief literature. (See Nos. 202-330.) 604. COTTON PLANT. Gossypium herbaceum. A hill of ripening cotton reproduced in wax is exhibited as a center * piece about which to group the insects affecting this crop, some 36 dis- tinct cotton enemies being represented in the accompanying cases of the economic exhibit. The insect enemies represented in the surround- ing cases are treated separately, but arranged according to the part of the plant they injure, namely, stems, leaves, or bolls. (See Nos. 331-367.) 605. COTTON WORM. Aletia xylina. Model in wax of a portion of the cotton plant, showing character: istic defoliation of the leaves resulting from the attacks of the young or mature larve. (See No. 341.) 606. COTTON BOLL WORM. Heliothis armiger. Model in wax of a portion of the cotton plant showing injury oc- casioned by the larve of the boll worm to the leaves, squares, forms, and bolls of cotton. (See No. 358.) 607. GOLDEN ROD. Solidago sp. Model in wax of a clump of Golden Rod with a number of the in- sects which commonly frequent it disposed on the bloom, and an ac- companying exhibit showing the wide variety of insect life known to breed on it, and also the insects known to frequent it commonly for the honey and pollen. 13 608. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Unaffected Hop Plant. A. spray of hops, modeled in wax, representing the plant as it ap- pears in vigorous growing condition, and free from the attacks of its principal enemy, the Hop Plant-Louse, to contrast the stronger foliage and more abundant and larger hops produced by plants from which the hop louse has been eradicated by the use of proper remedies. (See No. 198.) : 609. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humutli. Affected Hop Plant. A. spray of hops modeled in wax, representing the vine as it ap- pears when attacked by the Hop Plant-Louse, showing the blackening and discoloration of the leaves and the small and inferior hops, which are also discolored and otherwise unsuitable for market. 610. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winter eggs. Enlarged model in papier maéché of the winter eggs, which are at- tached by the sexual female to the terminal twigs of the Plum, in crev- ices around the buds. 611. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Stem-Mother. The stout female plant-louse shown in this papier maché model hatches from the winter egg and is characterized by shorter legs and honey-tubes. It gives birth without the intervention of the male to living young, of which three generations are produced on the plum tree, the last being winged and migrating to the hop. 612. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winged Migrant. This model represents the first winged generation, the third pro- duced on the Plum. It instinctively flies to the hop plant and is the progenitor of from five to twelve wingless generations of virgin fe- males, which people the hop plants until autumn and are the sole forms which depredate on the hop. In autumn the last generation pro- duces again winged females, which fly to the plum trees. 612a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Hop-affecting stage. This model represents the structure and appearance of the five to twelve wingless generations of virgin females which people the hop 14 plant until autumn. These are the progeny of the winged migrant (see 612), and are the sole forms which injure the hop. 613. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Return Migrant. This model represents the last generation produced on the hop, the winged migrant form which in September returns again to the plum and gives birth to three or more young, which are the true sexual females, the first perfect sexual females produced in the cycle up to this point. 613a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Pupa of Return Migrant. This model represents the pupal stage of the return migrant. The striking features are the wing-pads, which with another molt become the ample flight organs seen in the model of the adult. 614. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humult. True sexual female. This model represents the generation born of the return migrant, which never acquire wings and never leave the plum tree. Maturing in a few days, according to the temperature, they are fertilized by the true winged males which have been subsequently developed on the hops, and have come from the hop fields to the plum. Shortly after fertilization the winter eggs, with which the cycle started, are deposited. 614a. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Young sexual female. This model represents the newly hatched stage of the only perfectly developed sexual female produced in the life cycle of this insect. For the adult of this stage see Exhibit No. 614. 615. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. Winged male. This model represents the first and only male generation produced in the life cycle of the Hop Plant-louse. This is developed in the autumn and flies from the hop to the plum and fertilizes the true sex- ual females. 15. 616. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDIES AND PREVENTIVES: The attacks of the Hop Plant- louse may be prevented very satisfactorily by first destroying all the wild plum trees in the neighborhood except a few which may be left for trap plants. These latter should be sprayed with strong kerosene emulsion in September to destroy the return migrant and its progeny, and also the winter eggs, and again in spring to reach the two or three plum generations which may have developed from eggs escaping the fall treatment. Secondly, by destroying the hop plants as soon as the crop is gathered. Thirdly, and perhaps least effectively on account of the difficulties attending the treatment, spraying the hop plants with kerosene emulsion diluted about ten times. Fourthly, spraying the affected hop plants with a dilute decoction of quassia chips. 617. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDY: Kerosene emulsion.

Heat the solntion of soap and add it boiling hot to the kerosene. Churn the mixture by means of a force pump and spray nozzle for five or ten minutes. The emulsion, if perfect, forms a cream which thick- ens upon cooling and should adhere without oiliness to the surface of glass. Used for spraying plum trees in spring and fall, also applied to affected hop plants by means of a force pump and spray nozzle. 618. HOP PLANT-LOUSE. Phorodon humuli. REMEDY: Quassia. A decoction of quassia chips, made by steeping them in water, is recommended as a wash for the Hop Louse and gives fairly good satisfaction, but is less serviceable than the kerosene emul- sion. 619. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. The Begs. The greatly enlarged papier maché model represents the form of the egg and the terminal cap. The eggs are three-tenths of an inch long, the top being squarely docked and surmounted by four round tubercles near the center. Color from pale whitish to amber. (See No. 272.) 620. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. First larval stage. This stage, represented greatly enlarged in the model, differs from the adult in being more elongate and in having two-jointed tarsi, the 76 head broader and more rounded and the joints of the body subequal. The prevailing color of the whole body is red. 621. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. Second larval stage. After the first moult the form represented in the enlarged model is assumed. The red becomes a bright vermilion and contrasts with the pale band across the middle of the body, while the head and prothorax are dusky and coriaceous. Two broad marks appear on the meso- thorax and the second, fourth, and fifth abdominal sutures, and one at the tip of the abdomen. 622. CHINCH BUG. Blissus lewcopterus. Pupa. The pupa shown in the greatly enlarged models approaches still more nearly the form of the adult. and is not unlike the last larval stage except in being darker and in the appearance of wing-pads, which extend almost across the pale basal abdominal joints. 623. CHINCH BUG. Blissus leucopterus. The imago. The mature insect, which is represented greatly enlarged in papier maché, is elongate, blackish, and with numerous hairs, or pubescent. Its length is about three-twentieths of an inch. The outer wings are whitish, with a strong distinctive black spot. 624. FLUTED SCALE. Icerya purchasi.

The important apparatus for the collection of insects consists of va. ‘rious styles of nets adapted for different methods of collecting. These are for collecting insects during flight or about flowers, comprising butterfly nets; for collecting insects from grass or shrubbery, or even trees, comprising beating nets; and nets for collecting aquatic insects, comprising water and dip nets. Several styles of nets for each of these purposes are illustrated in the collection as follows: Butterfly Nets. The essentials of collecting apparatus of this class are a light ring _ (preferably made so that it will fold into small compass for packing) and a light, detachable handle, great strength of these parts or of the net itself not being required on account of the fact that the net is used chiefly in the air. The net is of cheese cloth or light muslin, and should be made into a more or less pointed bag, having a length of about three times the diameter of the net ring. 722. RILEY BUTTERFLY NET. Made of two pieces of brass wire, each about 20 inches long, bent half circularly and fastened at one end by a folding hinge, having a check on one side. The other ends are beaten into two square loops, which fit over a square projection on the end of the ferule and are firmly secured by milled screw which fits into the end of the ferule. This allows easy removal and folding into small space for convenient carriage. 723. THE SCHONBORN BUTTERFLY NET. This net is similar to the previous, but differs from it in the mode of attachment of the ring to the ferule. The ferule is double and the inner piece is deeply grooved on either side to receive the prolongation of the wire forming the ring. The outer ferule, which is slid down on the handle while the ring is being put in place, is then pushed up over the inner ferule, firmly clamping the ring in place and forming a very strong and satisfactory attachment. 89 90 Sweeping Nets. A much heavier net is required for this purpose, to support the wear - coming from vigorous sweeping back and forth in shrubbery and grass. The ring must be very heavy and provided with some means of pro- tecting the cloth from wear at its point of attachment to the ring, and the cloth or bag itself shculd be of much heavier material than in the butterfly nets. 724. THE DEYROLLE SWEEPING NET. The ring of this net is a strong flat piece of brass or steel, hinged on either side to allow folding into small compass and grooved exte- riorly, the groove being pierced by numerous small holes, so that the net can be fastened on the inside and the fastening twine will be pro- tected from wear by being sunk in the exterior groove. The net rim has a square tongue which enters the ferule and is fastened in place for use by means of a milled screw. 725. THE KIESENWETTER SWEEPING NET. The principle of this net is in general the same as that of the Riley Butterfly Net, but the ring is of much heavier wire and the net proper is attached to it by means of numerous small brass rings slipped on the main ring of the net. These rings should not be more than three- fourths of an inch apart, and the bag is sewed to them with strong twine and thus protected from wear and tear. 726. THE FISH-NET RING. A very satisfactory ring for a beating net is the smallest size of brass folding net ring used for catching minnows. It is made of strong wire and folds in two or three places into small compass and may be used with or without rings, as in the last net described. Water Nets. These nets are smaller than those just described and the net proper, which may be either of cloth or wire netting, is much shorter, not much exceeding the diameter of the net ring. 727. THE PACKARD WATER NET. The net ring in this apparatus is moderately strong and is bent squarely across at the front edge to facilitate the scraping of logs or submerged stones. The net proper is either of coarse grass cloth or wire netting. 728. THE JOCKEY-CAP DIP NET. This is a small water sieve or scoop and is made of wire netting and tin. It is used to collect any particular specimens of aquatic insects or to scrape submerged stones or timber. 91 Collecting by Beating. Apparatus for this work consists of an umbrella, beating cloth or other device, which is held beneath a limb or shrub and the latter jarred by means of a stick or by shaking, thus causing the insects to fall from it upon the collecting surface beneath, where they are captured. 729. THE UMBRELLA. A common umbrella may be used for this purpose, or one specially constructed with a joint near the middle of the handle to facilitate its being held beneath branches and to allow of its being packed into small compass. 730. THE BEATING-CLOTH. This is used as a substitute for the umbrella, and consists of a stout cloth, a yard square, with a loop of strong twine sewed in at each cor- ner. Two straight sticks to hold it expanded are placed crosswise and fastened to the loops, by which means the cloth is kept outspread. When not in use it can be folded up into small compass. 731. THE MARX UMBRELLA NET. This net is made from an old umbrella, and two steel rods ¢ttached to an umbrella handle at the top and to a sliding ferule at the bottom, constitute the ring. The net is a shallow bag of cloth. When in use the ferule is slipped up the umbrella handle until it catches behind a lip, forming a circle, and when not in use it is allowed to slide back and resume the shape and size, with the net wound about it, of an ordinary unbrella. It is used in beating, and also serves for sweeping. 732. THE SIBVE. This is a most useful apparatus, and is employed for collecting in- sects which are harbored by grass, leaves, or rubbish. The ordinary sieve will answer the purpose, or one specially constructed as in the example exhibited. It is used over a cloth or paper. 2 733. THE BAG SIEVE. Two brass or steel rings, one of which is covered with wire gauze, are attached to the top and bottom of a strong cloth bag 12 or 15 inches long. Leaves or rubbish are placed in the bag, which is then shaken over a collecting cloth, as with the ordinary sieve. 734. THE HAVERSACK. The ordinary willow bag or basket used by anglers will serve the ento- mologist to transport the various collecting bottles and apparatus which it is necessary to take on excursions. Such a one is exhibited. 92 Tweezers and Forceps. A variety of implements for collecting, pinning, mounting, and hand- ling insects is essential to satisfactory work. These include tweezers for collecting small and delicate specimens and transferring them to bottles and vials; and various pinning and transferring forceps and brushes. 735. PINNING FORCEPS FOR LETIDOPTERA. These are peculiar, in being stronger and in having more or less de- cidedly kneed handles, to adapt them for the heavier work of transfer- ring and setting the larger Lepidoptera. The knee in the handle allows the forceps to be thrust beneath the insect, and allows the pin to be more securely thrust into the cork. 736. COMMON PINNING FORCEPS. -The form exhibited is the one usually employed by entomologists, and serves for all ordinary operations of pinning. Other styles, prac- tically of the same character, are also shown. 737. COLLECTING TWEEZERS. For this purpose any light, pliable, fine-pointed forceps are suitable, the points being either straight or curved at the tip, according to indi- vidual preference. They are used not only for picking up specimens from the collecting cloth or umbrella, but are indispensable for extract- ing insects from cracks or holes in timber, their burrows, ete. Of the two or three styles exhibited, the larger can be used for collecting scorpions or ferocious insects which one does not care to take with the hand. 738. THE COLLECTING BRUSH. A common camel’s-hair brush is shown, which, being first slightly moistened, is used for collecting very delicate specimens or in trans- ferring them, to avoid the injury which would certainly result from handling them with tweezers or the fingers. 739. THE COLLECTING PILL BOX. This is a device for collecting Micro-Lepidoptera used by Lord Walsingham. It consists of an ordinary pill box, the bottom of which has been removed and a piece of glass substituted. This pill box ad- mits of the immediate examination of specimens, so that worthless or common species can be discarded. Boxes for First Preservation of Living Specimens. In collecting insects it is frequently necessary to keep the specimens obtained alive for purposes of future study or for breeding, and a 93 variety of boxes will be required to accommodate the insects or their early stages of different orders. These boxes should be nearly air- tight to prevent drying, and this will not endanger the life of the cap- tures, because insects require very little air. 740-743. SHIDLITZ-POWDER BOXES. These can be obtained of druggists, or made, by any tinsmith, of various sizes, the corners being carefully rounded to permit of the proper bending of the sides. They can be left in the flat until ready for use, and then bent into shape. Two or three convenient sizes are illustrated. The circular tin box used by watchmakers is also excel- lent. 744. COLLECTING AND PRESERVING SUBSTANCES. Under this head the chief agents for collecting and preserving and mounting insects are exhibited—alcohol, chloroform, ether, cyanide of potassium, benzine, gasoline, naphtha, creosote, benzole, Wickers- heimer’s preserving fluid, Spalding’s glue, shellac (solid), shellac (fluid), naphthaline cones, naphthaline crystals, gum camphor, bisulphide of carbon, mercury, carbolic acid. Collecting Bottles. These consist of any wide-mouthed bottle, or specimen tubes may be used, and they may be of a variety of sizes, to accommodate the dif- ferent orders of insects. A number of styles are exhibited. Nearly all the collecting bottles now used are charged with cyanide of potas- sium, which is put in in the solid form and held in place on the bottom of the vial by pouring in liquid plaster of Paris, which subsequently hardens, or by fastening it down with a paper wad. 745. THE CYANIDE BOTTLE WITH PAPER STRIPS. This is an ordinary cyanide bottle with plaster of Paris covering the cyanide, but to prevent the insects from grating on each other and also to absorb the moisture the vial above the cyanide is partially filled with strips of bibulous paper. 746. THE CYANIDE BOTTLE WITH PAPER LINING. The absorption of moisture, which is so injurious to delicate small Specimens, is also accomplished by putting a strip of blotting paper around the inner side of the bottle and covering the plaster of Paris with circular pieces of blotting paper just fitting the interior of the bottle. 747. VEST POCKET CYANIDE BOTTLE This is made of a small test tube, the cyanide being broken up some- what finely, and held in place by crowding in some soft and bibulous paper. 94 748. GOOSE-QUILL COLLECTING BOTTLE. This is made of a small cyanide bottle or test tube, and differs from the foregoing in that a goose quill is introduced through the cork, so that small specimens can be put into the bottle without first taking out the cork. This form of bottle will last for several days, but will need recharging oftener than other styles. 749. LARGH CYANIDE BOTTLE. Similar to No. 745 or 746, but larger, and employed to kill the larger moths, ete. 750. CHLOROFORM AND ETHER BOTTLES. These are of especial value in the case of butterflies, moths, and del- icate Hymenoptera and Diptera. An ordinary stout bottle, with a camel’s hair brush securely inserted in the cork, answers the purpose, or in place of the brush a dropping-needle may be inserted in the cork. Both styles are shown. Apparatus for Rearing Insects. A diversity of apparatus for the rearing of insects, indoors more particularly, is used in the work of the Division of Entomology. A considerable series of breeding-cages, jars, etc., is exhibited, showing practically all the important vivaria needful for the securing of insects and their protection during the study of their transformations and habits. 751. LARGE GLASS BREEDING JAR WITH EARTH. Illustrating method of breeding grass-feeding larve in jar with earth, in which the larve may enter for pupation or hibernation. 752. FLOWER-POT BREEDING-CAGE. This is a simple device for the rearing of insects on growing plants, either indoors or out. It consists of an ordinary flower pot, containing the plant which is to furnish food for the insect or which is already effected, and a glass cylinder which fits closely into the top of the pot, the free end being covered with muslin. Subject: Oak gall, from New Mexico. 753. LARGE GLASS BREEDING JAR. Containing maple leaves, and illustrating the method of breeding Lepidopterous larve which enter the soil to pupate. Subject: The Maple Worm, Dryocampa rubicunda. 755. THE BREEDING CAGE OR VIVARIUM. This, as at present improved, consists of three distinct parts—the base, the box proper, and the top or cover. ‘The base is specially con- 95 structed to facilitate keeping the soil in the bottom of the cage moist without pouring water in from above, which would cause packing. It is of zinc, and so arranged that a pan surrounds the perforated com- partment for the earth, thus allowing the water poured into the pan to penetrate the perforations and moisten the earth in the breeding- cage gradually and without the disadvantages alluded to. The box proper or central portion has a swinging door, the other three sides being of glass, or one or more of them may be covered with gauze to give ventilation. The top is covered with wire gauze. This cage admits abundant light and air, and is easily opened for the removal of specimens, the insertion of fresh food, ete. 756. THE MUSLIN-COVERED BREEDING CAGE. This apparatus is useful in the breeding and study of the habits of insects affecting small grains and forage plants, and is applicable to both indoor and outdoor experimentation. It consists of a strong box for the reception of the earth in which the plants to be studied are propagated, and of a light frame covered with gauze, which at the proper time may be fitted closely over the growing plants to retain the insects that have been introduced or to protect the plants from undesirable species. The one exhibited is of small size, and larger boxes will ordinarily be more convenient, while for field work the box with the growing plant may be embedded in the soil, or the screen alone may be used to cover a portion of naturally growing vegetation. 757. THE ROOT CAGE. This apparatus was devised for the study of insects affecting the roots of plants, and consists of a zinc frame with two plates of glass in a vertical position, with an arrangement for a zine sliding cover which fits into grooves, and may be removed to admit of examination of the progress of the root-infesting insects. The cage exhibited is of small size, but in the work of the Entomologist cages of various sizes are used, some being very large to admit of the reception of small shrubs. 758. PENT-HOUSE BREEDING CAGE. This is exhibited to illustrate a simple method of constructing a cage for the breeding of insects which feed on low plants, or for use in the field on collecting excursions. It is constructed by cutting two flexi- ble twigs and bending them into the shape of two arches, putting one over the other at right angles and pushing the ends well into the ground. Over the pent-house thus formed a piece of gauze is stretched and the cage is complete. 759. THE AERIAL BREEDING CAGH, OR BAG. A simple device for the outdoor rearing of species which oviposit on trees and large shrubs is shown in this exhibit. It is valuable for 96 the caging of female Lepidoptera out of doors, in order that they may Oviposit on a food-plant, or that the males may be attracted and caught, either for introduction with the females or for the collection. The device consists in inclosing a branch of a tree in netting, care being taken to avoid all creases or folds into which the insect might crawl and be killed by spiders from the outside of the bag. 760-773. BREEDING JARS. Much of the work of breeding insects can be most satisfactorily accomplished by the use of ordinary candy jars or battery jars, or even tumblers and test tubes of small size for very minute wood-boring or gall-making insects. These may be covered with gauze, or, in the case of nearly dry specimens, such as wood-boring insects, or galls, may be inclosed with glass or cork stoppers, to prevent further evaporation Tubes are also available for breeding delicate specimens, such as root lice, or for inclosing the stems of plants containing internal feeders, or for the reception of delicate pup. A large series of jars represent- ing the various styles used is exhibited. 774. INSECT PINS. In mounting insects for the cabinet expressly made entomological pins are used. There are three principal kinds, the Klaeger, the Carls- bad, and the Vienna pins. The Klaeger and Vienna pins are also made japanned, for use with insects which are Lable to verdigris. For very minute Lepidoptera and Diptera, etc., very delicate pins are used, such as the Vienna ‘ Minutien nadeln.” 775, 776. THE INSECT PUNCH FOR CUTTING TRIANGLES. The mounting of insects on points, illustrated in this exhibit, neces- sitates the cutting of cardboard points of various shapes to accommo- date insects of different sizes, and greater accuracy and rapidity may be secured by the use of a special punch similar to those used by con- ductors. One of these is exhibited, also samples of three sizes of the cut points. 777. PINNING AND MOUNTING INSECTS. An exhibit is made illustrating the different methods of pinning in- sects in the different orders, and of mounting or otherwise disposing of insects for the general collection or for storage as duplicates. Spreading apparatus. For the proper disposition of butterflies, moths, etc., for the cabinet spreading boards are necessary. 778. SPREADING BOARD FOR LEPIDOPTERA. The exhibit represents the form of spreading board commonly used. It is made of soft white pine, with a strip of cork beneath, in wnich to 97 pin the specimens. A slight slant from the middle upward must be provided for in stretching boards in order to counteract the tendency of the wings, however well dried, to drop after the insect is placed in the cabinet. 779. SPREADING CASE. This is designed for use where a good deal of work is to be done. Five or six spreading boards are made together, forming a shelf, and a number of these shelves are arranged as slide drawers in a suitable case, which is compact and prevents the specimens from being injured by other insects while they are being dried. 780. DRYING OVEN. For the inflation of the larve of Lepidoptera a tin drying oven, placed over an alcohol lamp, is used. The sides are of glass or mica, so that the larva is constantly in view, and the oven is furnished with suitable sliding or hinged doors and with a brass screen on the lower side to regulate and distribute the heat. 781. MICROSCOPIC SLIDE CASE. This is made of strong pasteboard and is arranged to hold twenty- six slides, the cover bearing numbers from 1 to 26, opposite which may be written the name of each insect mounted and labeled on the re- spective slides. 782. BALSAM SLIDE MOUNTS. An exhibit is made of a number of slides showing the method fol- lowed in the: work of the entomologist In mounting and labeling specimens, The preservation of alcoholic specimens. Very much of the biologic material in entomology will be kept in alcohol or other preservative fluids. There are a number of methods of storing the vials, two of the most satisfactory being illustrated. 783. THE RILEY VIAL-HOLDBER. This consists of a small block of wood, in the upper side of which are fastened two curved clamps of music wire, each forming about two- thirds of a circle, and on the back are set four pointed nails which project about one-fourth of an inch, and serve to hold the block to the cork lining of the case or drawer. The advantages of these holders are the ease with which the block can be removed for study or for re- arrangement, and the facility of removing the vial itself from* the holder. 23483—No. 31 7 98 784, 785. THE MARX TRAY FOR ALCOHOLIC SPECIMENS. In this methed the vials are stored in a wooden tray, the top piece of which has a cork center in which holes corresponding to the size of the vials are made with a punch. The trays are labeled on the outer end, and numbers of them may be stored together on shallow shelves, and the whole inclosed in a cabinet. Special vials are used, which flare slightly at the top to prevent their sliding through the holes of the upper part of the tray. Insect boxes. For the storage of insects both temporarily and in permanent collec- tions a great variety of boxes are used, and also extensive cabinets or drawers. Two styles used in the work of the Division of Entomology are exhibited. 786. THE FOLDING INSECT BOX. This box is of white pine, shellacked and varnished, the bottom and top of double crossgrain to prevent warping, and lined inside with a thin white-wood strip projecting above the rim of the outside of the box, so that the lid in closing over this strip forms a very tight-fitting cover and prevents the ingress of museum pests. The bottom is cork- lined and covered with a fine white-glazed paper. The advantages of this box are, that its position on the shelves can be readily changed, and that it is convenient for handling. 787. THE CABINET INSECT-DRAWER. This drawer is designed for the cabinets used in the Department of Agriculture and the U. S. National Museum for orders of insects which have been pretty well worked over and put into permanent shape. The construction of this drawer is somewhat complicated, as it is de- signed to protect collections absolutely from museum pests. A prom- inent feature is that the space between the outer and inner walls of the box, between which the tongue of the cover fits, is charged with some insecticide, such as napthaline, which insures the death of any insect which may succeed in gaining a partial entrance to the drawer. This drawer is employed in the insect displays of this exhibit, SECTION 5—INSECTICIDES. ARSENITES. These poisons are of the greatest service against mandibulate insects, and on account of their caustic properties are of some use against soft- bodied haustellate insects. Unless used cautiously on most plants they are liable to seriously burn the foliage. They may be used dry, either pure or diluted with 100 to 200 parts of flour or other diluent, but are best mixed in water, one pound to 200 to 250 gallons and applied by spraying. To prevent injury to foliage add lime water, milky but not thick enough to clog the nozzle, at the rate of 2 gallons to 100 gallons of spray. White arsenic should never be used without this preeaution. Fruit trees should not be sprayed with arsenites until after the blossoms have fallen, on account of the danger of poisoning bees. 788.

Dissolve sugar in water, add it to the bran and arsenic, and mix thoroughly, adding water until the whole mass is saturated. Placed about plants to protect from locusts, 790. ARSENIATE OF SODA. Not commonly used. 791. LONDON PURPLE. Same as Paris green. 792. PARIS GREEN. Used dry, diluted or undiluted. As a spray, use 1 pound to 200 or 250 gallons of water, with addition of limewater as above. 99 100 793. PARIS GREEN—Adulterated. Is often sold by the trade. Can be detected by use of strong am- monia, which completely dissolves pure Paris green, leaving no sedi- ment. 794. PARIS PURPLE. Used like Paris green. OTHER INSECTICIDES. 795. ACHTIC ACID. In dilution to about 10 to 15 per cent of the acid. It is applied-as a spray. 796. CARBOLIC ACID. A solution of 1 part in 100 of water is used against parasites on do- mestic animals and in their houses. Mixed with soft soap and lime it is applied, in spring, to tree trunks to repel borers. It may also be used in solution or in-emulsions, either on the foliage or among roots of plants, but kerosene is preferable. 797. SALICYLIC ACID. Is applied in powder or solution to soft-bodied insects. 798. SULPHURIC ACID. A weak solution is sprayed on soft-bodied insects. 799. COTTON-SEED OIL. Rubbed on domestic animals against parasites. 800. OIL OF TURPENTINE. Applied on the bark of trees and on live-stock suffering from para- sites. Is also emulsified with soapsuds and used as a spray against soft-bodied insects. 801. FISH OIL. Is used pure or with the addition of a little carbolic acid on domestic animals to repel insect pests. (See also fish-oil soap.) 802. PETROLEUM—Crude. 803. PETROLEUM—Refined. If broken into a very fine mist, may be sprayed sparingly on dor- mant trees and shrubs and on very hardy foliage. The various emul- sions are much preferable for most purposes. 101 804. KEROSENE—Whale-Oil Soap Emulsion. In 1 gallon boiling hot water half pound of whale-oil soap is dis- solved. To this is added 2 gallons of kerosene and the whole is churned vigorously with force-pump and spray nozzle until a creamy emulsion results which will adhere without oiliness to glass. In regions in which the water is strongly impregnated with lime or magnesium, rain water or water previously broken with lye should be used. 805. KEROSENE MILK BMULSION. To one part sour milk add two parts kerosene and churn by a force pump or other agitator. A butter-like emulsion results in from three to five minutes, and is diluted ad libitum with water. For fuller par- ticulars see late reports and bulletins of the Entomologist. 806. KEROSENE—Bar-Soap Emulsion. Same as above, except common bar soap is used in place of whaie-oil soap. 807. GASOLINE. _ Used on domestic animals against insect pests. 808. BENZINE. This is used in cabinets or applied to household goods to destroy vermin. HKnough is applied to make its odor as strong as possible. 809. TRAIN OIL. Is used the same as fish oil. 610. CREOSOTE. Used like carbolie acid. 811. SOAP—Soft. This is rubbed on the trunks of trees to protect from, or to kill, in- sects. As a strong suds may also be used as a spray. 812. SOAP—Common Bar. Used the same as soft soap, and as suds. 813. SOAP—WHALE OIL. Used the same as soft soap, but better. 814. PISH-OIL SOAP. Is used in solution against plant lice.

For use dilute with 44 gallons water and apply as a spray. 817. RESIN COMPOUND FOR SUBTERRANEAN INSECTS. This remedy is valuable against Grape phylloxera, Apple Root-louse, and other underground insects, having given excellent results with the uirst two species named. It is made by combining 5 pounds of caustic soda with 40 pounds of resin and diluting with water to 50 gallons. Dissolve the soda in a small quantity of water by boiling and add the. resin. After the whole is dissolved, boiling water is added slowly to make 50 gallons of the compound. For use, dilute to 500 gallons and apply, in the case of the Phylloxera, 5 gallons to each vine, pouring it into a basin excavated about the stock of the plant. 818. RESIN WASHES THE FORMULA FOR RED SCALE. - This insecticide has been employed with great efficiency in California against the very injurious Red Scale. It is made as follows: Resin. osc.

The product will assimilate readily with water and should be diluted with the proper quantity of cold water. It should be strained through fine wire sieve or muslin before being sprayed. 819. RESIN WASHES: FORMULA FOR SAN JOSE SCALE. This is a Stronger wash and is only applied during the dormant period. It is made in the same manner as the first-named wash, but the boiling is continued twice as long. The ingredients are used in the following proportions: eat et =) 0 0 UB ea el nr ee et er pie le ELT SU eR a ey Ae Ne pounds.. 30 CAaUSEIC SOM ais tat eS EN pee ee apenas ar evar eeganyin done 9 1 DUS 1 00) L eC ee Renee w ee at nn en aa er MR Ue ae Oe a rd as pints.. 44 103 820. ALCOHOL. A. 30 per cent solution is sprayed on soft-bodied insects. Of but lit- tle use. 821. ALUM. Used either as a powder or in solution. 822. ASHES. Wood ashes sifted on or placed around the bases of plants. 823. COAL ASHES. Dusted on plants or placed about their base as a repellant. 824. BICROMATE OF POTASH. Is dusted on leaf-eating insects. 825. BISULPHIDE OF CARBON. For use in the ground, a quantity is poured or injected among roots that are being injured. It is similarly used to destroy nests of ants. Against insects injuring stored grain about 14 pounds are used for each ton of grain in a closed bin. It must be used cautiously, as the fumes mixed with air are very explosive. 826. BORAX. The powder or a strong solution is applied in crevices or on surfaces frequented by roaches, etc., to drive them away. 827. BORDEAUX MIXTURE. This important fungicide has some value as an insecticide. It is also better than water as a medium in which to apply Paris green, the lime preventing all injury to foliage.

Add water to make 45 gallons. Add 4 ounces Paris green to each 50 gallons. 828. BRAN. Often recommended for Cabbage Worm. Probably of little value. 829. CAMPHOR. As a preventive this is confined in drawers and packages to pro- tect dry goods and specimens. 104 830. CARBOLIZED LIME. Finely-pulverized fresh lime, 50 pounds. Crude carbolic acid, 13 pints. Thoroughly mixed and dusted on plants as a repellant. 831. CARBOLIZED PLASTER. Same as above, except that common land plaster (gypsum) is used in place of the lime. 832. CHARCOAL. Powdered charcoal is applied about the base of plants or dusted on the foliage. 833. CHLOROFORM. Used in closed cases against household pests and insects infesting stored grains; also on domestic animals against certain pests. 834. COAL TAR. Painted on tree trunks, etc., to catch or prevent insects from mount- ing. By adding a few quarts to a barrel of water a solution is made to sprinkle plants as a preventive. The smoke from burning coal tar is used as a repellent. Emulsified with soapsuds it is applied as a spray, using one-third coal tar to two-thirds soapsuds, and diluting with 5 to 10 parts of water. 835. CORROSIVE SUBLIMATE.—Mercuric chloride. Chiefly used in solution against household pests. 836. CYANIDE OF POTASSIUM. Chiefly used in fumigating fruit trees infested with scale insects. For directions see publications of Division of Entomology. 837. DUST. Fine dust is effective against various slugs—larvie of saw-flies. 838. GAS LIME. Is applied to the soil to prevent injury to plants by root-feeding in- sects. ; 839. GAS TAR. A strong solution is sprayed on plants or applied about the roots. Of but little value. 840. HELLEBORE.

Finely-divided mereury mixed with sand is placed about roots of grape-vines to protect from Phylloxera. 844. NAPHTHALINE. Used in the ground around roots that are attacked by insects and in cabinets to repel museum pests. 845. NAPHTHA. Used like kerosene, but not so good. 846. PYRETHRUM FLOWERS—Dalmatian. From these the Buhach of Mr. G. N. Mileo, Stockton, Cal., and the Dalmatian insect powders are made. Species, P. cinerariefolium. 847. PYRETHRUM POWDER OF THE FLOWERS—Dalmatian. This is the P. cinerariefolium, or California Buhach powder. This is blown or sifted on dry; also applied in water, 1 gallon to a table- spoonful of the powder, well stirred and then sprayed. 848. PYRETHRUM POWDER OF STEMS—Dalmatian. Used like the preceding, but not so good. 849. PYRETHRUM POWDER —Adulterated, This is sold quite extensively by the trade, and should be avoided as being poor, often worthless. 850. PYRETHRUM FLOWERS—Persian. From these the Persian insect powder.is derived. Species, P. roseum. 851. PYRETHRUM POWDER OF THE FLOWERS—Persian. P. roseum, or Persian insect powder. Used as just stated above. 852. PYRETHRUM POWDER OF THE STEMS—Persian. Used like the preceding, but not so good. 8653. QUASSIA. A strong decoction is useful against soft-bodied insects. 106 854. SALT—Common. A strong solution is sometimes used as a spray; more often applied in crystal to the ground as a preventive dressing. 855. SALTPETER. Used the same as salt. 856. SULPHATE OF IRON. Occasionally used in solution as a spray. A common ingredient of proprietary insecticides. Very injurious to foliage. 857. SULPHATE OF COPPER. See Bordeaux mixture. 858. SULPHIDE OF POTASSIUM. Is dissolved in water and used as a spray. 859. SULPHUR POWDER. Sifted or blown onto plants. The smoke is also used as a fumigant. 860. SULPHOCARBONATE OF POTASSIUM. Applied in holes or trenches to destroy. root-feeding insects like the grape Phylloxera. 861. SULPHUR AND LIME WASH.

Mix the salt and remaining one-half the lime and slack the mixture. Add this to the lime-sulphur solution and dilute with water to 100 gallons. Used as spray for scale insects, but not so good as the resin washes. 862. TAR. Domestic animals are washed in a strong solution to repel insect pests. Also sprayed on plants. Tarred bands, etc., are used to stop progress of chinch bug, army worm, etc. 863. TOBACCO DUST. Powder made from tobacco stems and waste from cigar factories is dusted on plants and around their base as a repellant. 864. TOBACCO DECOCTION. This is made as strong as possible as a wash or spray to kill insect pests on animals or plants. 107 865. WATER. Cold water if applied with force from a hose will clear plants of many insect pests.
